The Ancient Maya - Masters of Nature [History Documentary]

Описание: Let's dive into the Maya world and learn how this great ancient civilization rose to greatness thanks to their ability to study and manipulate the elements of Nature, but also, how Nature, in turn, shaped its destiny.

While Fabio will take you to a journey into the Maya culture walking among the rainforest trees of Kew Royal Botanic Gardens in London, Giulio will fly to Yucatán, Mexico to explore places like Chichen Itza, the Wonder of the World, Calakmul, the ancient city of the Snake Lords lost to the jungle, and the Cenotes of the Riviera Maya.

We are the History Twins, join us and discover with us the great Maya civilisation!
